When two selfish individuals become formally united in matrimony, they will still be separated mentally as long as each of them is walled in by self-love. Locked in prison cells of selfishness, they never achieve happiness and harmony together. In loving, not in being loved, lies the key that will unlock the doors of their hearts and bring them wedded happiness.

Self-love is self-confining. When couples learn to expand their sympathies, and give up limiting them to themselveswhether individually, or to themselves as a couple or a family-they may transform their relationship, and the emotional disharmony that selfishness has produced, into a relationship of selfless, divine love.

Selfless love is the key. Couples that at first defined their relationship in terms of "me and thee," later, with the growth of understanding, learn to think unitively. Human love, thus, can expand into the love of God.

Without God, human love is never perfect. No marriage is truly fruitful without the "secret ingredient" of divine love. Earthly love that reaches not past the beloved to embrace divinity is not real love at all. It is ego-worship, selfish because rooted in desire.

True love emanates from God. Only hearts that have been purified by self-expansion can embrace the fullness of that love. In expansion, the heart's feelings become channels through which God's love flows out to all the world.
